Introduction

This unit is the foundation

opportunity to reflect upon and to develop understanding of concepts that are
central to mathematics curricula; to consider the cross-disciplinary implications
and opportunities afforded by these topics; and to develop quantitative
literacy understandings that will enable students to be informed professionals.
Foci of the unit include the development of a critical orientation to
presentation of numeracy concepts in the media, and an appreciation of the
importance of quantitative understandings to the personal and professional
lives of all teachers.
